“Star Trek” was a creation that foresaw a near utopian future where, while people still had their difference of opinion, those vying for more political control wouldn’t be caught dead in a soft core porno or call his/her opponent’s supporters “deplorable.” I know, it sounds crazy, but there are still people out there who dream of the impossible.
And since just about everyone is throwing their two cents into this (REDACTED) show of an election season — an election season with two of the most disliked candidates of both major parties nabbing the nomination — it seems like the nerds who have worked on “Star Trek” in its many shows, films and whatnot over the years are letting it be known that they think Donald Trump should not be president of the United States.
Called Trek Against Trump, the group is made up of more than 110 cast and crew members who have worked on the “Star Trek” franchise, including JJ Abrams, George Takei, Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, Zachary Quinto and Wil Wheaton — just to name a few of these dorks.
Notably not on the list is William Shatner, who played the original (and frankly, the best) of the captains, James Tiberius Kirk. Though, after venturing on Shatner’s Twitter page, he seems much too busy getting into beefs and yelling at Twitter trolls to give a rats ass about this election. And, frankly, I don’t blame him.
Here is the complete list of the Trek Against Trump folks.
